    I'm there with you. I am scheuled for my surgery on Monday, a week from today and I have an almost 3 year old and a 4 1/2 year old. I have been told that within a week I should be able to care for them without assistance. Good luck!

    Same question here. I have a little boy who will be turning two next week, and my biggest concerns about the surgery all revolve around being able to care for him post-op.

    I have an 8 and almost 2 year old. I think the toughest thing will be no lifting.

    I have a 7y/o the biggest was trying to get him to understand daddy couldn't wrestle and pick him up for a while. This is when your spouse ,significant other or friend needs to step up and pitch in.
